Game reviews: Apples to Apples

When I first heard of this game, I thought it would be stupid. I was wrong. I played with eight friends at a birthday party, and I have never laughed that much before. The object of the game is to be the first to win a certain amount of green cards. (The winning amount depends on the amount of players.)

Each player gets seven red cards. These cards cards have nouns on them. They can be anything from Jerry Springer to Duct Tape. Each person takes turns being the judge. The judge flips over a green card which has an adjective on it such as smelly, flirty, eternal, etc. You must pick the card in your hand that best matches the card the judge flips. The judge then picks their favorite match, and that is the winner of the hand.

It is great fun, especially if you like to argue and debate. It is also very amusing to see the types of combinations people can think of. For example, in my winning hand, the judge laid down the word eternal. I played Duct Tape, and I won.
